Cat Scratch Disease: Follow up of a Clinical Case
P. Stanimirov, M Dimitrov
Abstract: Cat scratch disease is a non-epidemic infection caused by Gram negative bacillus Bartonella henselae. The most common course of the disease includes regional lymphadenitis and skin papule at the entrance site of the infection. We report a case of a female, 22 years of age, with cat scratch disease. Clinically we observed the typical skin papule at the entrance site of the infection with severe suppurative lymphadenitis of the parotid region and the neck. We have observed the course of the disease.
